It's 2024 now, the song was released in 1962, the fact that it's been 62 years already and the song is still such a hit is really amazing. Bobby is such a legend.
@@MetFan37 both of you are correct. He is doing a completely different rendition here and not trying to imitate his original. Also, songs that are heavily produced like this one, never sound the same as the studio version. BUT, yeah you can tell that his voice sounds weaker here as well.
Same with Ghostbusters and they brought back the theme song for the credits in Ghostbusters: Afterlife, more of a direct sequel the the original sequel.
I loved the comment he made about Elvis saying that he'd thought this song was "The stupidest thing that he'd ever heard" "Elvis if you're listening, I'm still here"
I was 6 years old when this Hit came out. My 2 Brothers and I had the Measles, and couldn't go out to Trick or Treat, so we played it over & over while Mom & Dad did the Twist to it to keep us happy! What an icon this guy is, he truly is; good fun and all.
I have sang this song for the past two years during Halloween. I will take even greater pride to sing it 2, 3, and 5 days from now so I can share the happiness it brings to us big kids that have never grown up.
In 1962 when this hit was released Bobby Pickett was a hit the song was great I was 9 years old and I could speak monster mash. Still to this day now 71 I can still do it. It's too bad he never found a second hit to this he was sent to my knowledge other songs but nothing ever came close to this spectacular song that is still playing some 72 years later in just a few days on a lot of radio stations rest in peace you always be one of my favorite monsters
I was sitting on my couch, late this night and on google maps i had a fright for i could not find Monster Mash Alley and i must admit, it was a bit scary I looked and looked but to no avail it just seems quite the tall tail it made me sad as it would be grand if i could go there once i made plans but alas it seems to have lost it's class when it removed its Monster Mash
I read in the comments on one video of this song somebody wondering if he ever got tied of doing this. I figure he felt about this song the same as Boris Karloff said he felt about the Frankenstein monster that made him so famous. Mr. Karloff called it the darling monster. This song is much like that darling monster. It's a part of many kids fondest memories both young and old. I'm 67 now and when I hear this song I'm a young girl again for a few moments. Delightful.
So nostalgic, the Monster Mash immediately takes me back to my childhood around Halloween. As an adult, still love this. Not to mention, Bobby was so fantastic with kids, and just people in general. I can only imagine how delightful it would be to be around him, talking to him and simply listening to his wisdom.
Bobby Pickett was one of the biggest CELEBRITY'S to come out of Somerville Massachusetts all these past years......The other one was GEORGE WASHINGTON when he raised the Colonial flag on top of Prospect Hill.......
I was here! Got arrested for vandalizing this guy who grabbed my girlfriends ass's car in the parking lot after. My whole life spiraled out of control after this.
Halloween 2024 from manila Philippines sill is listening to this Halloween anthem thank you sir bobby picket Heard this from Sabrina the teenage witch series long time ago ever since I kept listening to this every Halloween season
He is number 1 hit of all songs,all in all what cab i say but keep bringing him on for all times to still come God bless for such wonderful and respectful funning to us all keep it up always 4 ever.
@@biggdogg7840 The vampire was a girl. She had her hair in a bun (you could tell when the characters were switching sides) and when facing front you could tell she had a figure. This was 15 years ago and there probably weren't a lot of boys participating in a local fundraiser.

Damn Fr?
His voice sounds just the same. Wow, Rest in peace Boris
ymo 1965: No, it doesn't really, but his enthusiasm carries it through. This was only three years before his death from leukemia.
@@MetFan37 both of you are correct. He is doing a completely different rendition here and not trying to imitate his original. Also, songs that are heavily produced like this one, never sound the same as the studio version. BUT, yeah you can tell that his voice sounds weaker here as well.
Fax he's still got it even though he passed away
If anything he grew into the role the older he got.
Bobby is probably the most humble and good spirited one-hit-wonder I've ever seen. What a cool and nice guy
I agree. Very nice man.
One hit wonder
@@GetRekt-bw6pu sometimes one hit wonders are better then long careers like certain current music people
What about Monster Swim
W33B LORD he was not a one hit wonder . He had a few good tunes . Look it up
Jesus I don't think these kids know how lucky they were to see this man singing live and in person.
Maybe Buddha knows....ya think??
Retweet
I’m old enough, he was great,,,,,,,,,,,,,we were lucky indeed
@@bluelava4282 ill say :)
Agree!! 🕸🕷
There are worse things than be remembered for a novelty hit that is never forgotten. RIP
Yeah, one that topped the charts in multiple decades, nonetheless!
He had whole Album of Greatest Hits of Rock and Pop, My Mom had it on Vinyl from the 60's...
2019 and monster mash is still a halloween hit
@@wandah909 My name is Brooke
How little you know, im a Tech at Chuck E Cheese and we did a 2 month show for Halloween that constantly played this song.
2021 and it'll be a Halloween hit forever. A hit period. Me and my son loves all of his stuff.
Same with Ghostbusters and they brought back the theme song for the credits in Ghostbusters: Afterlife, more of a direct sequel the the original sequel.
2023 my favorites I was born in 62. We grew up with it. Thank you Bobby
I loved the comment he made about Elvis saying that he'd thought this song was "The stupidest thing that he'd ever heard"
"Elvis if you're listening, I'm still here"
"Love me Tender" was probably the stupidest thing I'VE ever heard..
I'm an Elvis fan and I loved that too! I laughed out loud.
@@2-strokeracer531 you guys are cracking me up 🤣
Elvis is good but I'm really enjoying this thread
Elvis copied people lmao. oh well he couldnt lay off the drugs so serves him right
I was 6 years old when this Hit came out.
My 2 Brothers and I had the Measles, and couldn't go out to Trick or Treat, so we played it over & over while Mom & Dad did the Twist to it to keep us happy!
What an icon this guy is, he truly is; good fun and all.
Your parents sound great!!!😊👍
@@michaelchristopherson123 Mom is now 83, Dad died in 2011; best parents any Sons could have hoped for. Thanks so much.
I wasn't even born yet. I lived this song since i was a little kid. I am older now and i still love this song. R i p Boris.

R.I.P. Bobby Boris Pickett
Luv the song...brings back memories of the good old day ....
Bobby seems like a cool humble dude. Wish I was there to see him live
2021 the monster mash was a TOP 40 HIT. From 1962 all the way to 2021, it made it to number 37 on billboard. Timeless classic
I've loved this song since I first heard it at age 14 and that was a long long time ago. Bobby Boris Pickett, rest in peace.
Awesome song! These kids will always remember they got to dance with Bobby Boris Picket singing the Monster Mash.
Who's listening in 2021? Still a Halloween classic, and he sounded exactly the same 50 odd years after the original
still have my 45 RPM record of (Monster Mash) I bought in 1963- it was one of those hits that just kept coming back every Halloween !
and I bought it when it was re-released about 10 years later
Oh that's nice
I got the original Witch Doctor
This was a very clever fun song. The way Bobby sung it was genius. The 1962 version was perfect.
Love it,love it.Just amazing after all these years.So sad he died a few years later,but the Monster Mash will go on forever.
THAT'S R 👍🏾GHT 😂😂😂
Been listening to this song my ENTIRE life almost. I was born in 61. Always loved this song.
58 years and it's still a graveyard smash!
You're darn right it is
My dad purchased this when it came out on a 7"single (45) and I still have it
I have sang this song for the past two years during Halloween. I will take even greater pride to sing it 2, 3, and 5 days from now so I can share the happiness it brings to us big kids that have never grown up.
It warmed me to see him smile so much and still having fun with it
Wonderful.

I can imagine many adults found this cheesy. But by golly some cheese gets better with age. I still have my 45😄
I have the whole album
what's on side 2 ?
@Jonathan Meyer aka a 7 inch record. A single. They play at 45 rpms, hence the term "45'
fully agree, Shannon!! :D It's just not Halloween until this song plays.
👁️ Have 👍🏾t 😂n My 📞(🎶PlayL 👍🏾st 😂😂😂😂!!!!)
I bet this was a blast hearing him sing the monster mash... Wish I were there.
Monster mash will always be my all time favorite Halloween song !
Those kids have no clue they're on stage with music royalty.
You need to check out his video from the early sixties. His facial expressions were fantastic.
The Halloween song to end all Halloween songs.
Great video of Bobby brings back so many memories thank u so very much
I was sitting on my couch, late this night
and on google maps i had a fright
for i could not find Monster Mash Alley and i must admit, it was a bit scary
I looked and looked but to no avail it just seems quite the tall tail
it made me sad as it would be grand
if i could go there once i made plans
but alas it seems to have lost it's class when it removed its Monster Mash

What a great job he did..! Passed on April 25, 2007 age 69 R.I.P.
I loved that song. It’s amazing, this guy made a great living singing that for 45 years!
So nostalgic, the Monster Mash immediately takes me back to my childhood around Halloween. As an adult, still love this. Not to mention, Bobby was so fantastic with kids, and just people in general. I can only imagine how delightful it would be to be around him, talking to him and simply listening to his wisdom.
Grew up with this Halloween classic. So cool.
I can’t with the jumping kids and the jumping spider🤣🤣🤣🤣
A legend, I wore out that 45. It’s wonderful to see him having fun performing it again. I still remember the words, 50+ years later.
Only 69 when he passed in 2007, he looks older here, but 69 to me isn’t old. May he Rest In Peace. This song is still nothing but cool!!
I was age #7,a very little Bobby.in '62.
Bobby Pickett was one of the biggest CELEBRITY'S to come out of Somerville Massachusetts all these past years......The other one was
GEORGE WASHINGTON when he raised the Colonial flag on top of Prospect Hill.......
This man is so cool and genuine
Loved it then as a kid and love it now at 70.
I love this song..always thought Boris Karloff sang it. He sounds so much like him..
Fun fact Boris Karloff did legit sing this once on TV, unfortunately the footage is lost to time
"I'm still here", good one Bobby.
I was here! Got arrested for vandalizing this guy who grabbed my girlfriends ass's car in the parking lot after. My whole life spiraled out of control after this.
This guy had a great career in radio and television good man
I remember seeing Bobby Pickett at spooky world in Berlin Massachusetts in 1997 r.i.p bobby
Rest in peace. Mr. Mad Scientist.
Remember when we could go outside and life wasn't politically toxic?
Bobby deserves this award just for all the painful looking contortions his face went through.
Rest In Peace Bobby! I play Monster Mash every year on my portable speaker for the trick-or-treaters!
He absolutely still has it
Brilliant song and performance. Lovely twist with gay Dracula in the back lmao
Killian O'Gribbin That _is_ a very gay Dracula.
He was just HAPPY! Be nice✌💚🌞❤
It's a female
@@joedapro555
Need glasses
That’s a teenage girl fam she’s got her hair in a bun and she has boobs
Halloween 2024 from manila Philippines sill is listening to this Halloween anthem thank you sir bobby picket
Heard this from Sabrina the teenage witch series long time ago ever since I kept listening to this every Halloween season
I am 34 years old i still list to this songs
The popular song for Halloween when I was a kid in the early 70's,used to listen to it everyday on 45 record....The Best!
This is so cool, I bought the album back in the day and it's my go to karaoke song! I know I'm a dork
Oh and by the way.... He is still a national treasure!
he can still sing good
Singing? Go get your ears checked A. S. A. P! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😵😵
He is number 1 hit of all songs,all in all what cab i say but keep bringing him on for all times to still come God bless for such wonderful and respectful funning to us all keep it up always 4 ever.
Wow! This aged like fine wine, and so did he. This is a billion times better than the American Bandstand performance! :)
It's AMAZING that he made a whole career out of this ONE song , lol ! NOBODY ELSE could ever have done it better though - THAT'S FOR SURE !!
He has a brilliant voice
He's doing a Boris Karloff impersonation
he has at least 1 whole album of excellent monster themed songs what's he talking about greatest hit. he should do them all
The girl dressed as vampire has a spring to her step and seems to be enjoying this
Look like she is dress a witch
Is the Vampire a girl also? I thought it was a flamboyant teenage boy... Hmm
@@biggdogg7840 The vampire was a girl. She had her hair in a bun (you could tell when the characters were switching sides) and when facing front you could tell she had a figure. This was 15 years ago and there probably weren't a lot of boys participating in a local fundraiser.
Looks bored as fuck👧👧😂😂😂😂😂👿👿
Looks like she's hiding a pretty decent rack as well.
The only thing I remember about Halloween was mom playing this song and dancing
I was born in 1964 and every Halloween my Dad would play this . And i played it for my kids ,now its played for my grandkids. RIP
excellent performance. with out autotune
The kids had no clue that they were watching a legend perform. I bet they know now. 😊🎃👹
Halloween party favorites, brings back memories.
If it was good in 1962 n still good in 2019 n be good far in2 t future 🙏🇺🇸
